Jagr, Avery score 23 seconds in third period in Rangers’ 2-1 win
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) -Henrik Lundqvist and the New York Rangers had the New Jersey Devils’ number during the regular season and nothing has changed two games into the playoffs.
Jaromir Jagr and Sean Avery scored 23 seconds apart in the third period, and Lundqvist made 26 saves in beating the Devils yet again in a 2-1 victory Friday night in Game 2 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals.
“I don’t think Game 1 and Game 2 were complete opposites,” Rangers forward Brendan Shanahan said. “We improved in some areas. They improved in some areas. I don’t think anything has been black and white in this series, so far. We’ve just been fortunate to find ways to get goals and to find ways to get wins.”
The victory was the Rangers’ ninth in 10 games against New Jersey this season, and it gave New York a 2-0 lead in the best-of-seven series that will shift across the river for Game 3 on Sunday night at Madison Square Garden.
The Devils face a long road back after losing the first two games at home.
“They are definitely taking control of the series,” goalie Martin Brodeur said. “We feel that we are not far away. A bounce here, a bounce there and it could have gone our way today. We have to keep our heads up and try to do to them what they did to us in their building.”
The Rangers, who have never lost a best-of-seven series in which they have led 2-0, have gotten all the breaks in the series.
They won the opener 4-1 on Wednesday when Brodeur misplayed a puck in his own crease with the game tied 1-all in the third period. They took the lead in Game 2 after Devils defenseman Colin White nudged Brodeur while coming out from behind the net, giving Jagr the space to put the puck into the net off the goalie’s back.

    Shouldn’t it really be 30 seconds of silence?

    I like the one where Chuck jumps off the plane and into a moving convertable with a woman that starts slapping him and he just punches her out. Now that’s hilarious.

    If a stingray stabs Chuck Norris in the chest, the stingray dies of a heart attack and a roundhouse kick

    These are NSFW…In the sense that your coworkers will know you’re not working because of the hysterical laughter coming from your office.

    The best one is when the guy says he will catch the kid jumping off the ladder - but the dad moves and lets the kid hit the floor. Conan is utterly shocked by that one.
